Would a whistle hung from the neck be just as effective?

Elphaba - my opinion is that if my mother was ever to deal with muggers again, drawing attention to the situation is the safest alternative. My mother is quite a fiesty woman as well, and that worries me more than anything. I have worked to set her expectation to make any attacker want to leave, with or without her purse. I can replace her wallet or purse, giving her the expectation to fight back is reckless and dangerous, in my opinion.
I am glad to hear that your mother is bouncing back well!
